THE GLOBAL AFRICAN AWAKENING ASE'
In Melanesia, the indigenous Black people naturally have blonde hair.
The Solomon Islands, a Melanesian area northeast of Australia, is home to a unique phenomenon: a significant portion of its Black inhabitants have naturally blonde hair.
The natural blonde hair found in these Black inhabitants has led to various theories about the origin of this trait, some say from, environmental factors, while Eurocentric scholars suggest, genetic mixed heritage from European explorers.
Recent research shows that the blonde hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique recessive gene mutation distinct from the one found in European populations. The research identified a single genetic mutation in a protein called "tyrosinase"-related protein one, which is crucial for pigmentation.
This mutation is predicted to affect the protein's function and leads to blond hair when inherited from both parents. This discovery suggests that blond hair has evolved independently multiple times in human history, challenging the common Eurocentric assumption that it only originated with Europeans.
Researchers analyzed DNA samples from over 1,200 Solomon Islanders and found that a single "letter" change in a gene responsible for pigmentation is responsible for the blonde hair color. This mutation reduces melanin production, resulting in lighter hair. The researchers also found that this mutation is absent in other populations worldwide, confirming its uniqueness to the Solomon Islands.
The prevalence of this blonde hair gene in the Solomon Islands is likely due to the islands' small founding population and subsequent genetic drift. This phenomenon shows the importance of studying diverse populations to uncover unique genetic variations.
Once again, you can't come from a Eurocentric perspective trying to understand African phenomenon.
WE MUST RESTORE THE TRUTH!
